I am new to hunting civil war relics but have been using metal detectors in one form or another since 1988. Mostly I hunt parks and old home sites and the beach 2-3 times per year.
In a proven civil war battle area (not in any national parks but adjacent private or public property) how long do you hunt on the average before you find a civil war relic like a bullet?
I am hunting in areas of urban Atlanta where 100,000 federals fought 60,000 confederates for 3 days. This is a pretty intense battle field area.
I am using a nox 800 in field 1 with 50 tones. and civil war bullets ring up 17-18-19 so I can eliminate most ring pulls. I have test hunted the area and found it mostly free from trash for the simple reason not many people walk, hike, play or picnic in these two areas.
I have about 15 hours on the nox 800 and probably 200 - 300 on the AT Pro.
thanks for any input.
